Hi,
we are using "LDAP for AIX" for about 1-2 years now with a Novell eDirectory as LDAP server. Problem is, that we need PAM authentication to have Informix DBs working together with LDAP, as the Informix support told us.
This would require to use a PAM module for LDAP, like PAM_LDAP from padl.com, together with NSS_LDAP.
I checked out different info I found via Google, but it seems that people are not using it or are not able to compile it. We tried it 3-4 years ago too and failed too. I have also found some compilation documentation in an IBM Redbook about Security in 5.2 (don't remember if I had this way back).
From a comment on padl.com (Documentation about how to compile NSS_LDAP) it seems, that IBM will not support a solution using those modules.
So my questions are:
- Is anybody of you using Informix on AIX together with LDAP? Ie. not using local accounts to supply credentials to Informix.
- Is anybody using PAM_LDAP/NSS_LDAP on AIX 5.3 or higher, instead or along IBM's "LDAP for AIX" (secldapclntd, ...)?
Thanks in forward.
